Wrecking Shop

Friday marked the end of our two- weeks- ish off from playing shows, and we celebrated the occasion by going all upscale and actually renting a van to drive up to NYC. Dan, Elise, Jay, Landis, and Tracy (from Little Black Cloud, as mentioned in previous posts) rocked the 15-Pass all up on I-95N, and I met them at the Cake Shop on the Lower East Side after a long hard day at work. I arrived to Dan and Jay acting all giddy-like that they had just seen Phoebe Cates downstairs, supervising her son's band. He himself was that 'batin kid from "The Squid and the Whale", so I think it's safe to say we were in the presence of movie stars. I did not see them myself, but apparently Mrs. Kevin Kline has still got it going on (in the Stacy's mom sense). The show went swimmingly and the crowd was fantastic, and we got to play with some great bands (McGregor Burns, Fredrik, & Arizona). My apartment in Bushwick turned into Camp Crashpad (except for Jay) for Friday evening, then we all woke up and had a lovely brunch at Harefield Road. We then, of course, went record shopping at Permanent Records in G'point before settling back at the house with a couple of bottles of wine and "Gummo" on DVD. Soon, we knew...it was house party time....and I'll let someone else post about that. XOXO John
